After purchasing my vehicle, the radio screen started glitching & blinking. Now, the screen is total black, but the radio still plays. This should be a safety recall because the backup camera do not show, the temperatures or anything. Will you please respond because I need this fixed a. S. A. P.

Uconnect system/radio screen visually not working appropriately. Gets glitchy lines and will go black. Flip upside down. And blurr together. Screen will respond to touch even when not visually able to see anything. This will happen at random even when using back up cameras which is dangerous will go completely black when trying to use screen in any way. No damage to screen. Car is 2021 should not be having issues with screen already this is a safety hazard especially because using backup camera screen goes completely black.

Keyless entry working intermittently. Using 2 original key fobs, doors will lock, unlock, remote start and panic alarm will sound. Then they will not. Both keys respond the same. Either they are both working or they are both not working. Works most of the time, but then the system will stop working and the emergency key will be needed to access the vehicle.

The screen for the radio presents several vertical lines of discoloration before the screen goes completely black. There is no way to return the screen's display until you turn your car off, let it rest for a while, and start again - even then the display quickly reverts to unusable condition. This affects safety as this is the only way to use the backup camera and is the sole control center for many of the vehicle's functions. This appears to be a widespread issue, and the dealer is charging astronomical amounts for the repair of this defect.

My oil light indicator came on month after I had my oil changed. The Jeep literally shut off on me when I was driving on a main road at 45 miles an hour. This happened to me 3 times yesterday I had no safe place to pull over. I was stuck in the middle of the road with hazards on hoping no one would crash into me! I looked up recalls for my Jeep and there is a recall for a cracked oil component on this Jeep. But it's saying no recalls on my Jeep! I looked at the symptoms of it and did some research and apparently the car shutting off is a symptom of that. I bought this Jeep last year and have spent hundreds of dollars trying to diagnosis the problem but always ended up with an oil change a month after I've already had one. Im terrified this will happen again.

The first generation with the 1. 4l turbo engine. Had two air lines coming off of the air filter container. They are solid and break when the dealer does the courtesy check during oil changes. It is a common problem showing online and the dealers do not take responsibility for it.

The screen began glitching for a week. By the end of the week, the middle of the screen turn back. It is a hazard when reversing as you cannot see pedestrians or how far objects are due to the blackout. Moreover, when using navigation, the road for traffic is not visible so it is a safety hazard. It was review at a Jeep dealership after I took my car in for a recall. My vehicle is ready for inspection and it has not been reviewed by insurance or police.

My Jeep often times has a jerking motion to it and dealer has no idea why. Others have this same problem.

Description of incident / failure the vehicle’s center infotainment/display screen malfunctioned and became partially inoperable. The left side of the screen displays vertical colored lines, while the remainder of the screen is dark/black and unresponsive. As a result, the backup camera display is no longer visible, and touchscreen functionality is severely limited or unusable. Component or system that failed the failed component appears to be the infotainment touchscreen/display unit, including the integrated rearview (backup) camera display system. The vehicle and the defective screen are currently available for inspection upon request. Safety risk this failure created a safety risk because the backup camera is required for safe reversing, especially when pedestrians, children, or objects may be behind the vehicle. Without a functioning screen, visibility is significantly reduced, increasing the risk of a collision, property damage, or injury while backing up. Reproduction or confirmation the problem occurs consistently and has not resolved on its own. Each time the vehicle is started and placed into reverse, the screen remains malfunctioned and the backup camera does not display.

I've seen many many many complaints about the touchscreen going out of blank which is used for the backup camera, would could be a hazard when backing out of tight spots. Mine has gone out and lots of others have complained.

The uconnect screen is glitching in and out and only 2/3 of the screen is appearing. Going into the dealer tomorrow.

My blind spot warning is inaccurate. This vehicle was purchased March 2024 and is constantly in the shop. It was recalls and a faulty electric system.

Unknown running lights and blinkers. Continually replace bulbs and either burn out black or just stop working. Possible wiring /electrical issues? dashboard computer works at random. Ongoing for about a year. Last 3 months the dashboard lightning bolt light flashes along with the service engine light. It will lose power to move forward while in motion and at times loses steering power as well. Speed doesn't seem to matter. Can be going 65 mph or 25 mph and happens at random. Usually flashing bolt light disappears after vehicle is turned off and restarted but service engine light remains on for a few days but then disappears after that. Vehicle has been brought in to be repaired and diagnosed several times at different locations but since the warning lights on the dash disappear, the scan device doesn't detect an issue. Ongoing malfunction is potentially dangerous and very frightening despite how fast the vehicle is moving. Not sure how to move forward with resolution when nobody seems to find what is wrong with it? money continually spent on trying to diagnose without resolution is frustrating and not knowing details puts others at risk as well. No active recalls and have not found or any prior recalls that would explain. Light issues are inconvenient but mentioned in the chance they are a component of the source of bigger issues that may include electrical , powertrain, etc. . . . *dashboard warning lights along with loss of driving power has happened on multiple different occasions. In additional details below I will record most current episode.

The radio screen is not working properly it fuzzes up I can't use my backup camera it's a well-known issue on the Jeep forum and many other forums. Perfect helps me control a lot of my safety features in which I can't get into because it's not working properly my car is not even 3 years old yet and as far as I've seen other.

My car has been struggling to speed up and now recently struggling to start. It did show a ads light when trying to start and also something about a vehicle dynamic system.

Cannot get backup camera to pop up automatically when vehicle is put in reverse.

The display for the backup camera is only showing a partial screen preventing full view of the rear of the vehicle when in reverse. The rear camera is a safety feature to prevent backing incidents protecting human and property damage. After research , this appears to be a common issue with the 2018 and 2019 Jeep Renegades. The problem started approximately six months ago August 2024 and I have not had it looked at by the dealership.

Driver sun visor does not stay up. This is a very common occurrence with all Jeep Renegades, of all years. This is a safety issue because it either hangs in the line of sight of the driver, or, the driver is blinded by the sun. Jeep quotes the repair from $600-2800. How can they request this of every Renegade driver and not issue a recall?.

The u connect system screen does not work , goes in and out and is scrambled . I am unable to use back up camera.

1st issue was the a/c unit which mechanic said was a factory defective part. Replaced under warranty & now is not working again. 2nd issue is coolant & flushing system. Replaced las year & mechanic said it was a factory defective part. This was 2 different mechanics. I just had my car overheat on me again nearly a year later with sludge in the tank again. I am payong wayyyyy too much money for this to be on me again! I need repairs done at your cost and a car to drive.

The radio head unit (display monitor) has failed. I can not use backup camera, safety and security alerts. This problem is common across all Jeep Renegades. No recall has been provided. These units cost $2,000 to replace at the dealer.

Engine stalled (lost power) while driving on the interstate during rush hour traffic. I had to pull into emergency lane. This happened 3 times within an hour or so. We almost wrecked the car. Very scary and dangerous situation. I checked and there are no recalls with my VIN number. I’m not sure what to do now.

The radio screen is black and the back up camera is contacted with the screen. I would think that would be a safety issue. I have tried all of the resets. I took to a dealership yesterday and it will cost over $1600.

The rear windows do not properly stop causing damage to the rubber window/door frame. When put up, they pass through the insert ripping the rubber trim. This also causes a space in the bottom of the window a child can stick their finger through. If not aware, when the window is lowered a finger can be severely broken.

I'm getting multiple messages displayed saying lights are out when they are not, have had many instances where the language is changed to something else. And the cooling fan stops working intermittently causing over heating and most recent melted wiring harness plugs to and from fan.

Mysky parts commonly break on Jeep Renegades and poise a safety concern that they do not close. During accident or inclement conditions this can endanger passengers and driver.

Following updates to the computer system the radio touch screen develops lines and then blanks out. Can no longer use the vehicle backup camera, control the heat system and other vital systems on the vehicle as the display is unusable. Desler in colorado springs says this happens often, Jeep is aware of it but offers no guidance other than replacing the radio at the owners expense. . Appears in all model year.

The screen to my radio is malfunctioning. Not only does this take away my back up camera, it also leaves me so I can not access features of my vehicle: clock, heated seat, heated steering wheel, and other system functions - due to the screen glitching/turning black my mph has changed to km/h and I am unable to change it back.

May u connect. It don’t always connect to my phone. A now the screen it gets lines a then the screen starts to go blank then it will be gin to roll a display the compass seems to only do this while it’s hot. Outside. Then the screen is hot to touch.

Engine malfunction with unpredictable times of hard shift jolting. It's a concern while driving and frightened when it happens. Not sure if this could get worse and could be a safety risk. Took to a dealer. Did not act up when they checked it. It has to be driven all the time to catch when it decides to act up. Happens between 2 to 3 and down from 4th to 3rd gear. No engine light indicates a problem. When I had other things fixed, I had mechanic to check it out. Invoice mentioned what was fixed but nothing stating about them running a test on what I have additionally been experiencing with the jolt as it shifts since it didn't do it at the time. Had transmission flushed hoping it would help but still does it.

Display screen in center console is not functioning and back up camera is inoperable. All of the controls and setting that are only accessible through the touchscreen can not function. The screen is completely black and does not work, there is no other way to access anyy of these safety features and information for the vehicle.

My screen is not visible. Which doesnt allow me to use camera to reverse or backup with visibly seeing what behind through screen, which causes to be a hazard. Replacing will cause me tons of money that I dont have. Which mechanic stated there has been many Jeeps that has had same problem.

When it is raining, the vehicle shuts down and service warning lights come on. The service engine, service transmission, service hill assist, service parking break lights come on. The vehicle will start, but won't go into drive and no fuel flows into the engine to give enough power to move. After about 30 minutes, the vehicle might run, but it will shift very hard and the transmission won't fully engage. After 45 minutes, all the warning lights go off, except for the check engine light, and the car is driveable. This only happens in the rain or after a car wash.

The console on the dash that shows the radio and back up camera view very frequently has white lines running through it. You can not see the screen. As a safety issue, you also can not see the camera view when trying to back up. It is a safety issue. I'm seeing on vlogs that many people have this same complaint.
